Whats the difference between a USB 3.0 than a USB 2.0?USB 3.0 has a maximum transfer rate of 5 Gbit/s.USB 2.0 has a maximum transfer rate of 480 Mbit/s (0.48 Gbit/s). So USB 3.0 is 10x fasterUSB 3.0 also provides more power to devices that require higher amounts of power to operate. It can provide 50% more power than USB 2.0 does through the cable itself.

Technical Details:• Expand by connecting up to 7 USB 3.0, 2.0, or 1.1 devices to any USB 2.0 or 3.0 capable computer• Compatible with all Windows and Linux systems. Mac systems require latest Apple updates.• Supports USB 3.0 transfer rates up to 5Gbps. Backwards compatible with all USB 2.0/1.1 devices and hosts• Powerful 2A laptop-style power adapter with cable. Hub is not a standalone charger.• 7 per-port LEDs. Sleek black finish. All 7 ports on one side to minimize cable clutter.

• Compatibility:- Compatible with all USB 3.0 hosts, including Windows 8 and earlier, and Linux kernels 3.0 and later.- Full forward and backward compatibility between USB 3.0 and 2.0/1.1 hosts and devices.- Requires no driver install (although individual devices will, as usual).- 2.4Ghz wireless devices, such as wireless keyboard and mouse adapters, may not work in close proximity to USB 3.0 devices or hubs. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port is recommended.

• Performance:USB 3.0 data transfer rates up to 5Gbps allowing data to move quickly between devices. Ideal for high-throughput devices such as USB hard drives, flash drives, and USB video adapters.Power and ChargingComes with premium 5V 2A power supply for supporting several devices requiring USB 3.0's more demanding 900mA per port power.Functions as a USB hub only, not a standalone device charger: No special functionality for charging iPad, iPhone, or other tablet and smartphone devices with or without a PC.

Rating: 5/53.0 USB hub - 2.0 compatible

Pros: After many purchases of USB hubs through the years this is by far the most reliable hub yet purchased. I use this hub on my Surface Pro 3 which is notorious for being fussy with anything connected via USB. The Surface Pro 3 has been able to connect to USB 2.0 devises without a problem.

Rating: 5/5So far so good

Pros: So far the hub is working well and I like to ability to cut power whenever I need to or just flip it on to charge devices. 7 ports and external power its does what I need it to do, Speeds for transfers and just about on par for 3.0 speed I just notice it dips off a bit when a 2.0 or lower is plugged in, but nothing to worry about there just use of different protocols on the same pipe it's to be expected.

Cons: not a con so much but would like to see a more slim line power plug the big box transformer could have been slimmed down to take up less space on my power strip. Then some way to mount it on a wall or rail would be nice too....right now just have it zip tied to my monitor stand lol.

Rating: 4/5Works

Pros: Each port can be turned on and off. Each port has a pretty blue LED to show it is on. Does not need drivers.

Cons: Not stable. Would be nice to have some stability or an easy way to mount this once it has some or all the ports full it always falls over.
